Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process for The Journal of Learning, Teaching and Society ensures that all accepted papers conform to internationally recognized standards of academic merit, originality, and quality of research.
The purpose of the peer review process is to provide helpful suggestions to authors and also make sure that the editorial decisions will be made on the basis of merit and relevance.
At first, each manuscript is subjected to an Initial Editorial Screening, where editors analyze the manuscript with respect to its originality, relevance, academic quality, formatting, and publication ethics.
However, should the manuscript clear this stage, it then proceeds for independent review by experts in the field of education or related fields.
The reviewers analyze the papers in light of its originality, methods, theory, presentation, significance of findings and relevance to education.
These are just a few of the guidelines that assist the editor in making an objective decision of accepting or rejecting the manuscript.
